MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. — Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department are asking for the public’s help in identifying a thief involved in a burglary. 

The burglary took place on Thursday, in Silver Spring, along the 10200 block of New Hampshire Avenue near the Hillandale Shopping Center. It prompted officers to release surveillance footage of the burglar hoping the community will come together to help identify the culprit. 

According to reports, around 2 a.m. the person forcibly entered the business by breaking a front glass window. Then they proceeded to steal merchandise and swiftly exited the building.

Law enforcement says it was a T-Mobile store that was targeted, but they have not released what the burglar got away with or how much the merchandise was worth. 

After reviewing the surveillance camera footage, detectives weren’t able to get a description of the person in the video. Currently, the gender, height, and weight is unknown. 

Which is why they are urging anyone with information to come forward. You can visit the Crime Solvers of Montgomery County MD website at www.crimesolversmcmd.org and click on the “www.p3tips.com” link at the top of the page or call 1-866-411-8477.
